The Orthodox Research Group of St. John Chrysostom is pleased to announce the Theological Essay Contest, which is our first official writing contest.
The topic of the essay is “At which point do we start to do Theology.”
The essay should be around 5000 words and must be submitted by the 2 March 2020 to connect@orthodoxresearchgroup.com.
The essays will be judged by the independent Theological committee. The winner will be announced on the 19 April 2020.
We encourage all the group members and non-members to take part. The winner will receive an honorary prize of £200. Donations towards larger prizes are welcome.
We hope you’ll join us!
